Some experts are suggesting that the virus is going to 'disappear' pretty swiftly
I'm hoping that too. SARS disappeared pretty sharpish. But it wasn't as virulent, it was less easy to pass on. With this one it appears that you can pass it on with no apparent symptoms and it's running riot. We need some discipline to shut it down.
If people can keep up the distancing then it can be wiped out. But if young people (I'm assuming the following quote comes from someone under 25) make statements like
That's FOUR months away, do people seriously think we're all going to be able to lock themselves away for a further four months?
Well, yes. It's the only way to strangle and stop the virus in its tracks.
But you don't have to lock yourself away. Just keep your distance in social and work settings and don't mix households. Don't hold big parties like weddings. Loads of people might catch it and pass it on to other people, some of whom might die from it.
This is a huge and massive ask of the younger generation.
During WW2 young people saw the sense of hiding underground from bombs. So they did it voluntarily to save their arses.
All their DPs had gone off to fight in the war, so they had reason to engage with rules and regulations.
In this threat to humanity, the aggressor is invisible. But no less deadly. I cannot imagine why any person would argue the toss about their human rights and how they are entitled to have large gatherings regardless of the impact it might have on others.
So. to those of you who want to venture out and play fast and loose with your health. Go for it. Let Darwin's law prevail.
